Distracted...

I know, I know...
I should be working on
Monkey by Cookie A using Knit Picks Memories in color Cape Cod. (I don't think this yarn is available now) I am knitting these socks as part of FGF: The Sock Group Cookie A KAL. I need to have these finished by the end of May.

OR

Lauren by Monica Jines using Schaefer Yarn Heather color Grandpa's Overalls.

I'm knitting these for the Sock Knitters Anonymous Sockdown! May. At least I have until the end of June to get these done.

BUT

I was momentarily distracted by
the Berry Stitch Sachet!

I enjoyed knitting the berry stitch on my Blueberry Styx Bag, I had to make a little sachet using that stitch. Isn't it cute!! It measures about 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" and only took about 3 hrs to make.

I used Sandnes Yarn Mandarin Petit 100% cotton and size 4 straight needles. Yes, I did have to seam the sides. Now the challenge will be to work it up using dpns.

I see many more of these little bags in my future... they will make great Christmas gifts!
But for now... back to socks.
